WAFFLES: Hey Boss, what's it like to be an old married couple?
KATIE: How would I know, Waffles?
WAFFLES: Because you're old and we're a couple?
KATIE: Waffles, you're on thin ice.
WAFFLES: Ice? But it's not even winter.
KATIE: Waffles, today is Glogirly and Gloman's wedding anniversary. THEY'RE the only couple around here. You and I are not a couple. Understand?
WAFFLES: Are you sure? Maybe we could elope or something.
KATIE: Waffles, we can't elope.
WAFFLES: You mean like melons?
KATIE: *sigh*
KATIE: *sigh*
WAFFLES: Is a wedding anniversary the same as a Gotcha Day? Did they gotcha each other? Like from the shelter?
KATIE: I'm pretty sure they didn't get each other at the shelter. That's not really how it works.
WAFFLES: They got YOU at the shelter though, right? Isn't it your Gotcha Day too? Will you tell me the story again, Boss? Will you?
KATIE: Fine, Waffles. If you promise to behave. No food stealing, no fur sniffing and no meowing back.
WAFFLES: Got it, Boss. Food, fur, meow.
Once upon a time...
KATIE: I bet you didn't know that this is the photo that started it all. It was the picture we used on our very first blog header way back when I started every blog post with, "Hi Everyone, Katie here."KATIE: Fine, Waffles. If you promise to behave. No food stealing, no fur sniffing and no meowing back.
WAFFLES: Got it, Boss. Food, fur, meow.
Once upon a time...

She was thinking maybe a kit for washing her car, or a kit of accessories for her iPod or something.
Little did she know, 'kit' was short for kitten.
It was love at first sight.
Gloman's given Glogirly some very special anniversary gifts over the years. He's always really creative and silly about how he gives her presents. Sometimes he'll hide cards by her toothbrush or tucked inside her makeup bag. One year he hid a beautiful watch in the refrigerator next to the milk and butter.
But the most special gift of all was a little black and white kitten with a purple bow around her neck and a tiny little tag that read, "Happy Anniversary."
The Story Behind the Story
Over the years we've shared the hopelessly romantic story of how Glogirly and Gloman met. ...and how they came to be Glogirly and Gloman. If you're new to the blog and like a sappy love story, turn off the Lifetime channel and click the story link below. If you already know the story and want to read it again, well that's your problem.
It's proof that love is everywhere.
And when you least expect it, love might just tap you on the shoulder.
Happy Anniversary.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to all of you but especially to Gloman and Glogirly. Many, many more.
